And a grass roller. And a hay roller. And an ice roller. Even a barn roller. And an expert snow roller--only yesterday's snow was a no show. But that's how it often seems to be around here. I scurry about in a frenzy, getting all geared up for the predicted 2 to 4 inches, which turns into a predicted one inch, which turns into nothing at all. It's a relief and a disappointment at the same time. Of course the best snowstorms really are the ones that hit entirely by surprise. You go to bed with one landscape and wake up blinking at another. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! (Just skip those false alarms.)

WTG Bear - rolling around in stuff is one of the benefits of being a real dog! Bet Farm Girl and friends are delighted you roll in SOLID things - less odor! If we have any snow coming - we'll try to scooch it up your way. Thanks for the portrait!

My dog is a bit of an obsessive roller as well! As for snow - I think it ended up visiting us here in Victoria (Australia) instead, 2 weeks from summer and our snow fields and some country towns got dumped with about 30cm of snow in one night!

Hi Heather,No real Winter Wonderland here yet either, but everything will be encased in ice soon enough. It always looks spectacular, but is best viewed through a window--and not a car window!

Hi Dave,You're welcome and welcome to the farm!

Hi UngourmetGal,Bear is indeed very smart. His instincts are truly amazing, and at nearly five years old, they seem to still be improving. He is half Australian Shepherd, half English Shepherd, and 100% Attention Hound (don't do the math). Click here if you'd like to read a little more about him and see more photos.

Hi Nonnie,Great to hear from you. Yeah, snow in the big city isn't so great.

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
